this clock be great if you want a simple alarm clock . intuiative to operate . simple and legible control . love the soft beep to wake I . get a little more obnoxious if you do not turn it off or hit snooze in a few seconds . I do not use snooze and be able to turn it off before it get angry . stand fold over to completely cover control and display when transport . one problem , minor to I but I can not read the time in the dark . the 2 little led do not shine enough light for I to read the time in the dark . still give a 5 star because I be very satisfied . hopefully the battery last a while . will order I a extra from e-bay .
